Plagiarism Issues’ and the Pedagogical Framework in India: Few Proximate Observations

Awareness about Plagiarism among the Student of Higher Educational Institutions: Reflections of a Case Study Conducted at Ibra College of Technology, Oman

Plagiarism has become a major problem in higher education institutions in recent years. With the advancement of modern means of publishing, the students and researchers can easily access information from various online sources, which has resulted in the act of stealing others works without referencing or without proper referencing, poor quotation, invented data, imitation, cheating and many other form of academic misconduct. Literature shows that many of the students in higher educational institutions are not very much aware about the process of research and writing. This misconception sometimes leads to plagarise academic work without knowing the seriousness of doing so. This is often due to a lack of awareness and research skills among students and researchers. This crime can lead to many problems such as, reduce the level of thinking, creativity and productivity because students do not prepare it by themselves and they do not work hard for it. The objective of this study is to investigate the student’s attitude and awareness toward the issue of plagiarism. This study was conducted at Business Department in University of Technology and Applied Science, (Ibra College of Technology) Sultanate of Oman during the academic year 2019-20.

Finger Vein Recognition using Gabor Features and SVM Classification

Biometric identification using infrared vein pattern images has more distinctive features, intensity, and plagiarism issues than comparable methods. The vein pattern is authenticated by the fact that it is in a person, and cannot be seen under normal light. Internally it is immune to environmental effects and invisible under normal light, making it difficult for users to access without knowledge. A vein pattern identification using Gabor features has been implemented in this research. Specific biometric processing steps, including pre-processing, segmentation, edge detection, feature extraction, and classification of the vein patterns and current algorithms were studied. In this study, Gabor features and the SVM classification for effective recognition of vein patterns were used with 96.74 percent accuracy.

PLAGIARISM AS A WORLDWIDE TENDENCY

Objective. The objective of the article is to investigate manifestations of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism as a worldwide tendency in the student environment. Methods. The main scientific results areobtained through the use of a marketing research method, including a survey, analysis of the data obtained in order to find out the most acute causes of academic fraud, academic culture violations and student integrity. Results. Plagiarism is an urgent problem of nowadays as it is part of our lives and will continue to occupy a leading position for many more decades to come. The plagiarism tendency is observed not only in Ukraine but in all other countries of the world. However, there are different ways of controlling this disease in the 21st century. Therefore, in view of the subject of research, it becomes necessary to specify the content of the concepts of «plagiarism» and «academic plagiarism» in the student environment and to study the reasons for resorting to various forms of academic dishonesty. In researching the issue of academic plagiarism in the student environment, it was found that most students are familiar with the concept of plagiarism, but only 2 % can explain its essence. Such superficial awareness leads to the next 62 % of respondents who take foreign texts as their academic texts and resort to translation, or translate from other languages into Ukrainian — 19 %. An important role is played by the method of submission of educational material, where students point out the need and expediency of using innovative teaching technologies in higher education, which significantly affects the level of knowledge, the quality of students’ professional skills and abilities. It has also been found that the existing assessment system does not always correspond to the objectivity of assessing students’ level of knowledge and does not motivate them to avoid academic fraud. However, young people acknowledge that they deliberately resort to it because of the need to write a large number of academic texts throughout the semester, especially since the existence of effective punishment within higher education and scientific settings is now formal. Continued development of this aspect of life and conformist attitude to it will lead to catastrophic consequences. First of all, the stagnation of all aspects of human experience will begin. There will be a constant accumulation of material that will later grow into a distrust of the scientific field by humans. Therefore, plagiarism is a decisive problem in the modern development of society, in the formation of a proper and informative dialogue between scientists. Setting up the wrong principles for writing off has created many negative consequences that humanity is addressing to this day. The effectiveness of counteracting plagiarism should be maintained by the state, because without legal support, punishments cease to be a punitive instrument and turn into a recommendation direction. Rethinking the situation will provide a solid basis in many areas of the human community.

Direito autoral, plágio e coautoria

Direito autoral, plágio e coautoria são temas que despertam controvérsia no meio acadêmico, especialmente sob parâmetros éticos e legais. O objetivo geral deste artigo é entender, na perspectiva do direito autoral, do não plágio e da coautoria, como pode ser feito o uso de informações e seu pertencimento, de outrem, sem ter atitude antiética ou antijurídica, bem como, desmistificar o autoplágio. Para tal, a questão de pesquisa foi: “Sob a perspectiva do direito autoral, do não plágio e da coautoria, como pode ser feito o uso de informações suas ou de outrem e seu pertencimento, sem ter atitude antiética ou antijurídica?” A metodologia utilizada basicamente é a pesquisa bibliográfica e de reflexão, utilizando argumentos qualitativos. Como resultado tem-se um importante debate que envolve dois lados problemáticos de uma “mesma moeda”. De um lado estão os que mais produzem obras, com suas pesquisas e escritas, as editoras, os periódicos, os cursos e os órgãos reguladores; e do outro lado estão os que são solicitados (obrigados) a produzir em quantidade e qualidade e não se adéquam bem a essa exigência, assim acabam recorrendo aos “vendedores de trabalhos acadêmicos”, copiando partes ou integralmente o trabalho de outros ou repetindo seu trabalho já feito como algo novo. Sabe-se que para atender as exigências acadêmicas de produção, muitos usam de subterfúgios não éticos para conseguirem seus objetivos, outros se aproveitam fazendo disso um negócio. Os órgãos de regulação e fiscalização tentam atuar e inibir tal prática como é o caso da criação da Lei dos Direitos Autorais, dos produtos de software de detecção de plágio e outros. No entanto, essa prática está longe de ser eliminada. Esse artigo discutirá os vários desdobramentos que tem a questão do direito autoral, do plágio e da coautoria, instigando para uma reflexão da própria academia, não apenas sobre as atitudes dos alunos, mas também dos professores e dos pesquisadores. Concluímos que nem tudo que parece ser crime assim o é, e que é preciso rever as práticas e as exigências que tentam fazer do pesquisador um produtor em série de publicações, sem relativizar a condenação da prática antiética da falsa autoria.

АКАДЕМІЧНИЙ ПЛАГІАТ: ОСНОВНІ РІЗНОВИДИ ТА ДИСКУСІЙНІ АСПЕКТИ

In the modern age of new technologies, the problem of author attributions is getting ever more urgent. Due to its complex and controversial nature, the issue of plagiarism becomes increasingly topical in the field of education and science. The article deals with the main variations and disputable aspects of academic plagiarism.

Wybrane prawnokarne aspekty ochrony praw autorskich

This article refers to the issues associated with crimes against intellectual property that are regulated in the act of copyright and related rights.The most relevant questions connected with the application of the regulations, especially article 115 and 116 copyright and related rights and a fewother acts discussed in the text. There was also an elaboration of the fundamental rights that are protected by this act. The topic, which was frst elaborated from the theoretic view, was further collated with controversial practical examples. Development of the technology may cause problems with theapplication of the regulations. Plagiarism is mostly associated with literarycompositions. In the article, an example of modern art was submitted. Itappears that the issue of plagiarism is not very clear in practice, since it ispossible to be inspired by the same subjects. Moreover, there are things thatare not protected by copyright law, because of their common character. Theavailability and ease of re-enactment and reproduction of compositions thatare protected by copyright involve signifcant risks and potential violationsof these rights. An example was given in a case with tattoos and their copyrights, but also their penal law protection. The imprecise and abstract character of copyrights may be a starting point to abuse the protection of copyrights and related rights in civil as well as criminal law.

Some views and suggestions of possible measures on how to check the duplicate submission and the issue of willful plagiarism of research papers

In this paper the author addresses two ethical issues concerning the duplicate submission of a research manuscript for publication to more than one Journal by the same author and he also narrates here his own real story of plagiarism of the results of his Ph.D. thesis and Preprints with a very well known and in a sense, a trivial modification which was very well settled in the research literature beforehand and he suggests some possible measures to curb such highly unethical academic malpractices which are rampant in the present scenario of research. The author also invokes the Entire World Scientific Research Academia to wage a united and relentless war against such unethical practices that have crept into the system of Research Publication at a large scale now. This paper is written by the author on his receiving a reference from the prestigious Asian Council of Science Editors to seek his expert opinion in connection with a case of duplicate submission of a research paper by the same author to two journals after the paper was first published in a journal.

Piękna paranoja i Freud, czyli afera plagiatowa wokół teorii dwupłciowości Wilhelma Fließa

The article presents the dispute between Freud and Fließ concerning the bisexual theory of the latter. According to Fließ, Freud inadvertently conveyed the main ideas of this theory to his patient, Hermann Swoboda, who included them in his article, which he published. Not enough of this. The latter conveyed them to Otto Weininger, who also drew on them in his famous book Sex and Character. The result was public accusation of plagiarism made by Fließ against Swoboda and Weininger and the breaking of friendship with Freud. In the article, I argue that in this case the issue of alleged plagiarism is problematic and at least ambiguous, not allowing the formulation of categorical opinions.

Understanding plagiarism in Indonesia from the lens of plagiarism policy: lessons for universities

Plagiarism is viewed as a critical issue that can hinder the development of creativity and innovation in Indonesia. Thus, since the early 2000s the Indonesian government has endeavoured to develop policies to address this issue. In response to national policy, Indonesian educational institutions have made serious institutional efforts to address the plagiarism issue. Research in the Indonesian Higher education context on plagiarism has focussed on reporting prevention and mitigation efforts. However, little has been discussed about the communication of these efforts in policy across the different institutional levels of Indonesian Higher Education. This study aims at exploring the anti-plagiarism efforts by determining the main features (or discourses) reflected in plagiarism policy in Indonesian HE from national to institutional level. Two web-based resources namely the official website of The General Directorate of Research, Technology and Higher Education (retrieved 2015), and the website of Bandung Institute of Technology (retrieved 2015) were used to ascertain the most appropriate policies to include in the study. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was used to reach explanatory understanding of how the policies (discursive events) demonstrate through their linguistic repetitions and other forms intertextuality, their relative positions within the Indonesian Higher Education institutional hierarchy and consequently provide some insight into the social practices and understandings of plagiarism underlying the creation of the documents. This study revealed that perhaps because of the rigid boundaries and hierarchies represented between the documents, the university policy does not show much transformation from the documents at a Ministry level, hence the definition of plagiarism remains broad and the levels of plagiarism and sanctions for plagiarism remain undefined. This can potentially lead to inconsistencies in developing effective practices preventing plagiarism.

Understanding Ukrainian pedagogical sciences through textbook analysis of four ‘Pedagogy’ textbooks

In comparison to a vast literature on Soviet education little is known about Ukrainian pedagogical sciences apart from a mounting critique about the issues of academic dishonesty and plagiarism, which relates to all higher education disciplines, the absence of an empirical tradition in education research, a poor record of publication in peer-reviewed journals, and the dominance of a positivist approach, which seeks to discover ‘laws’ rather than reach ‘understanding’. This paper offers a thematic analysis of four ‘Pedagogy’ textbooks – three textbooks for under-graduate studies and one textbook for post-graduate study. The textbook analysis demonstrates that Ukrainian pedagogical sciences as a research tradition is deeply rooted in its own conceptual apparatus with no apparent relation to the current debates about teaching and learning in a wider Europe. The key proposition of the paper is that Ukrainian pedagogical sciences represent a mixture of Herbatianism and dialectical materialism, with more recent developments that emphasise ‘acme’ or ‘perfectionism’ that could be compared to debates on virtue ethics in education. Alongside these narratives the discourse of ‘Kozak pedagogy’ contributes to the nation-building narrative in education. The paper calls for a review of the content of ‘pedagogy’ textbooks currently used in higher education institutions in Ukraine and envisages that the newly established Ukrainian Educational Research Association can provide a platform for this important undertaking.

IbM-PELATIHAN TEKNIK PENULISAN PARAFRASE UNTUK SKRIPSI MAHASISWA SEBAGAI UPAYA MENGHINDARI PLAGIARISME

The issue of plagiarism is one of the issues that gets great attention among the academic world and is our common concern. As a manufacturer of science, Higher Education has a big responsibility to provide education and socialization related to the prevention of plagiarism. The initial conditions of our partners (students of the Islamic Economics Study Program, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Kalimantan Islamic University, Syeh Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari), are having difficulties in avoiding the culture of copy-paste in completing their academic assignments, especially in doing thesis.&#x0D; Most students still do not understand the term plagiarism and how to avoid it. After going through community service activities under the title "Training of Paraphrasing Techniques for Writing Student Thesis as an Effort to Avoid Plagiarism" which we carried out on September 22, 2018 then our partners can apply good paraphrasing techniques to avoid plagiarism.&#x0D;

Academic Writing and the Internet: Cyber-Plagiarism amongst University Students

This research aims to present a number of findings on the perception that university students have on academic plagiarism. Data has been collected on the procedures of copy and paste, paraphrase, translation, as well as the need for citation of resources taken from the Internet. This study was carried out at the University of Lleida (UdL), via an online questionnaire administered to 1150 first-year students. The results show similar figures in the understanding of plagiarism with respect to two procedures: copy and paste (69.3%) and paraphrase (68.3%). In the case of translation, the figure is higher with 82.1% of students considering that translating a text is plagiarism. Regarding the need to cite digital sources, 13.6% argue it is not necessary. When analysing the results according to the different faculties and affiliated schools, no pattern of behaviour has been detected in relation to the typology of the degree students were enrolled in, but a trend towards different behaviours can be observed in the two faculties in which students have received specific training within the framework of subjects of their degrees (Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy and Faculty of Education, Psychology and Social Work). In these cases, the figures related to acknowledging plagiarism procedures are higher and so is the percentage of students who say that resources taken from the Internet should be cited. This leads us to conclude, in line with other studies that have dealt with the same subject, that training is key to tackling the issue of plagiarism in higher education.

Exploring the Intersection Between Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Academic Integrity Among EAL Students in Canadian Higher Education

In this article, we examine selected literature on the implementation of culturally responsive pedagogy in higher education with regard to academic integrity among international students who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL). The question that guided this work was: How can Canadian post-secondary educators demonstrate culturally sensitive responses to plagiarism for international EAL students? Within this examination we used Sleeter’s (2011) critique of culturally responsive pedagogy as a framework to deepen our reflection of how to address plagiarism issues among the EAL population. We related each of Sleeter’s four observances of oversimplification to the notion of plagiarism and its prevention, to contextualize and connect the notion of culturally responsive pedagogy to academic integrity. Using the research literature to ground our recommendations, we conclude with strategies for instructors to support culturally responsive ways of addressing plagiarism with international EAL higher education students.
